Congrats on the 300M, it's a nice car. I can't say i've owned 50 cars, since i'm still on my first one. Then again, i'm not a full-time auto mechanic ;D

Way to go, Matt...We used to have a 1999 Chrysler 300M when they first came out. It was a great car.

Thanks. I got a good deal on it. The dealer was selling it on ebay, someone won it, and then the check engine light came on and they didn't want it. So I got it for a steal, and on the way home the check engine light went off . It needed a downward airflow oxygen sensor. But while messing around with it tonight, turns out some water got in the harness causing it to trigger the check engine light. Only if the dealer knew..

Wow, you seem to have outwitted the dealer...lol Good luck with that car, Matt. As far as I remember, we never had trouble with ours. We had that along with a 1996 Cadillac DeVille, 1996 Chevy Blazer LT, and my brother's 1998 Ford Mustang

I had a 1995 Caddy Deville. I bought it for $250.00 because the head gasket was "blown". Turned out to be a blown intake gasket. Of course I discovered that AFTER I pulled both heads. Sold it for $3,200 so I'm happy. It was a nice car too, I was going to keep it, but it was too darn big! Loved the digital guages, like my 1986 Lebaron has.
